Philippians 3
1 As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you [is] sure;
Moreouer, my brethren, reioyce in the Lord. It grieueth mee not to write the same things to you, and for you it is a sure thing.
2 look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision.
3 for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh:
4 though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;
Though I might also haue confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I,
5 circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
Circumcised the eight day, of the kinred of Israel, of the tribe of Beniamin, an Ebrewe of the Ebrewes, by the Lawe a Pharise.
6 according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable.
7 But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
8 yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ,
9 not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ — the righteousness that is of God by the faith,
And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith,
10 to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death,
11 if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead:
12 Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
Not as though I had alreadie attained to it, either were alreadie perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Iesus.
13 brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing — the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth —
Brethren, I count not my selfe, that I haue attained to it, but one thing I doe: I forget that which is behinde, and endeuour my selfe vnto that which is before,
14 to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
15 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect — let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
Let vs therefore as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if yee be otherwise minded, God shall reueile euen the same vnto you.
16 but to what we have come — by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing.
17 become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us — a pattern;
Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample.
18 for many walk of whom many times I told you — and now also weeping tell — the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
For many walke, of whom I haue told you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ:
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
Whose ende is damnation, whose God is their bellie, and whose glorie is to their shame, which minde earthly things.
20 For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await — the Lord Jesus Christ —
But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ,
21 who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.
Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe.
